Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 14 Level 20 Soul Hunter Experiences

Time flies like an arrow, never to return.

Eleven months have passed in the blink of an eye. Half a month ago, Fang Tian raised his level to level 20. And today, Fang Tian finalized his choice for his second soul ring.

"System, open your own panel."

……

Age: eleven years old

Realm: Level 20

Soul Power: 1030/1000

Physical condition: 660/500

Spirit: 708/500

Skills: Midnight Skill (Advanced Level 4999/5000), Nine Palaces Blade Step (Peak Level 132000/200000)

Soul Skill: Rooting (440 years)

"I'm almost eleven years old, and I've reached level twenty. I guess that's not bad, I guess," Fang Tian consoled himself.

What else can we do? Life goes on.

It seems I'll have to trouble Director Wang again, but this time I can be better prepared. As long as I make good use of the tools, I basically won't need to fight.

Fang Tian walked towards the teaching office while pondering.

"This Director Wang is quite good to his students. Last time I tried to absorb a spirit ring beyond my limits, he kept trying to dissuade me. And there hasn't been any news about it for so long, which shows that he is a very reliable person."

"Director Wang, I've come to see you." Ever since Director Wang helped with the Soul Hunting last time, Fang's father has brought extra things every time he visits Fang Tian, ​​so that Fang Tian can deliver them to Director Wang.

It wasn't anything valuable, but Director Wang accepted it with a smile. Therefore, Fang Tian and Director Wang always had a good relationship.

"Fang Tian's here. What brings you here today? You don't seem like someone who's here to deliver gifts." Director Wang looked at Fang Tian's empty hands and teased him with a smile.

"Director Wang, I'd like to invite you to my house another day. You can eat as much rabbit meat as you like. Hehe!" Fang Tian replied with a smile.

"Do you really think I'm a foodie? Your special rabbit meat tastes good, but it's not worth making a special trip for me. So, what's the matter?"

"Director Wang, I've reached level 20. That's why I've come to ask for your help with Soul Hunting," Fang Tian said proudly, raising his head.

"What? Did I hear that right? You're at level 20?" Director Wang was shocked.

"Yes, I'm at level 20. Don't be so surprised. Everyone in school knows how hard I work, plus I'm a genius. So I barely made it to level 20," Fang Tian said, deliberately showing off.

"Heh!" Director Wang scoffed. "Let's test it!" Director Wang took out a crystal ball, mainly worried that Fang Tian might have misjudged the situation; otherwise, it would be ridiculous for the two of them to be staring at each other blankly in the Soul Hunter Forest.

Fang Tian placed his right hand on the crystal ball, and the crystal ball quickly lit up.

"You've reached level 20 as expected. Alright then, I'll accompany you to the Soul Hunter Forest tomorrow. Go and prepare yourself."

"Okay, thank you, Director Wang," Fang Tian replied with a smile.

Similar to the last time, Director Wang and Fang Tian successfully entered the Soul Hunter Forest.

On the way here, Director Wang had already learned about the soul beast that Fang Tian needed: a parasitic vine or iron wire vine that was around 950 years old.

Director Wang had anticipated this, and since Fang Tian was absorbing a soul ring beyond his age limit again, he didn't try to persuade him further.

This time, Director Wang did not know the location of the two soul beasts beforehand, so the two of them could only search aimlessly in the Soul Hunting Forest.

They spent the entire day searching but found nothing. They had no choice but to spend the night in the Soul Hunter's Forest and continue their search the next day.

After eating his dry rations, Director Wang went to sleep first, leaving Fang Tian to guard the first half of the night.

Just before the shift change in the middle of the night, Fang Tian heard a rustling sound approaching the two of them. He quickly woke up Director Wang.

"Director Wang, something's up!"

Director Wang scrambled to his feet and summoned his martial spirit, the Iron Rod.

The two men stared intently in the direction from which the sound came. The branches of the bushes ahead parted, and a large snake, over three meters long, darted out.

Fang Tian's system has completed the identification. It's a 350-year-old Mandragora Snake. Fang Tian even suspects that this snake might be the same one that the little rascal absorbed the soul ring from decades later.

"Director Wang, be careful, it's a 350-year-old Mandragora Serpent." Fang Tian was worried that it was too dark for Director Wang to properly identify the type of soul beast.

"Okay, I'll hold the front, you attack from the side when the opportunity arises." Director Wang said as he moved forward.

As the man approached, the datura snake opened its mouth and lunged to bite Director Wang.

Director Wang quickly blocked the snake's mouth with an iron bar. Fang Tian saw his chance and used the Nine Palaces Step to charge forward, drawing his sword and slashing diagonally at the seven-inch mark of the datura.

The snakeskin was indeed tough. Even though Fang Tian's goose feather blade had been specially sharpened and he used all his strength to chop it off, he was only able to barely cut off the snake's head.

"Kid, good teamwork. The snake was killed in less than twenty seconds," Director Wang praised.

"Hehe, Director Wang, you flatter me." While saying these humble words, Fang Tian couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, Director Wang, should we move to another location now? After all, the smell of blood can easily attract other soul beasts."

"No, it's too dangerous to travel at night. Snakes don't have much blood to begin with. If we sprinkle more of the scent-masking powder, it should last until dawn."

After the two of them finished dealing with the snake blood, Fang Tian went to rest, and Director Wang took over the night watch.

Nothing happened during the night. In the morning, the two of them lit a fire and roasted the snake for breakfast. Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.

Fang Tian and Director Wang were gnawing on snake meat when they heard hurried footsteps approaching them quickly.

"Hide it quickly!" Director Wang said hurriedly.

The two quickly dropped the snake meat, summoned their martial spirits, and each hid under a tree, then sprinkled themselves with powder to mask the smell.

Just as they had hidden themselves, a group of four disheveled people appeared before Fang Tian and Director Wang. The four were covered in blood, their clothes were torn in many places, and one of them had his right arm twisted in a strange way, seemingly broken.

When the group reached the fire and found no one there, they realized that the people there had hidden themselves and didn't want to get involved.

"Seniors here, we are willing to offer all our wealth, please help us!" the burly man leading the group shouted anxiously to those around him.

No sooner had they finished speaking than a beastly roar came from the direction the four had come from. "Roar!" Then heavy footsteps gradually approached.

"Let's go, boss. The people here are hiding; they clearly don't want to help us. The thousand-year-old black bear is coming after us," suggested the short, skinny man among the four.

"Go!" The burly man leading the four men's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth, leading his companions away quickly.

Fang Tian and Director Wang still haven't come out.

The sounds of "thump! thump" drew closer. A black bear nearly five meters long appeared in their sight. The bear sniffed the ground, ran to the snake meat the two had left behind, pawed at it a couple of times, sniffed it again, and then chased after the direction the four had fled.

After waiting for fifteen minutes, Fang Tian and Director Wang finally emerged from their hiding place.

"Fang Tian, ​​we didn't help you just now, do you think I'm cold-blooded?" Director Wang asked.
